Abstract

PURPOSE:To open and close a door with one hand by constituting an automatic vending machine so that a slide claw provided vertically on one face of a slide plate can be detained by a detaining claw projecting in a containing frame, when a handle is closed and held completely in a handle containing frame. CONSTITUTION:When a handle 4 is closed, it turns around a supporting axis 10 and a slide claw 14a comes into contact with a detaining claw 5b first. When the handle 4 is further closed, the slide claw 14a overcomes a spring 15 and turns together with the handle 4, while sliding a little to the left and in the end, a state that the slide claw 14a and the detaining claw 5b are detained is set. Accordingly, the handle 4 is also fixed temporarily in a handle containing frame 5. Therefore, thereafter, by only turning a key 6, locking can be executed. On the contrary, at the time of unlocking, when a projecting part 14b is moved a little to the left with a finger from the outside of the handle 4, after turning the key 6 to the unlocking side, the slide claw 14a is detached from the detaining claw 5b and the handle 4 is energized by a spring 11 and jumps out.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a locking mechanism κ for a vending machine.

Conventional technology In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of vending machine door opening/closing mechanisms that use both a key and a handle. The structure is such that the door can be opened by operating the button.

The conventional vending machine handle locking device described above will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 6, Figure 6,
FIGS. 7 and 8 show the structure of a conventional vending machine handle locking device.

1 is the main body of the vending machine. 2 is a door attached to the front of the main body. 3 is the key body provided on door 2. 4 is door 2
The handle is buried inside and is located in one corner. It is a 6 handle frame. 6 is the key. 7 is a cam attached to the key body 3.

8 is a stepped screw. 9 is a sliding plate held by a stepped screw 8, and a long hole 9a through which the stepped screw 8 is loosely inserted.

A spring 1 loosely extends through the support shaft 10 and biases the handle 4 and the handle frame 6. 12 is a link, and 12a is a long hole provided in the link.

13 is a link pin supported by the handle 4 and has a long hole 1.
It moves freely within 2a. The link 12 is a part of the substantial locking mechanism between the main body 1 and F+2, but its explanation will be omitted since it is outside the scope of the present invention.

The operation of the vending machine handle locking device constructed as described above will be described below.

FIG. 5 shows the door 2 in a closed state, so-called locked state. To open the door, insert the key 6 into the key body 3 and press the key 6.
When you turn , the lock cam 7 rotates.

When the lock cam 7 rotates, the lock slide 9 slides in conjunction with the rotation of the lock cam 7, and as a result, the lock slide 9 slides. It is removed from the hole 4a of the handle 4. Since the hand/I/4 is biased by the kick spring 11, it rotates around the support shaft 10, and the link pin 13 comes out of the handle frame 6 when it becomes unable to freely move within the elongated hole 12a. hand. come. In order to open the door 2, it is necessary to further rotate the protruding handle 4 by hand. By doing so, the substantial locking mechanism between the main body 1 connected to the IP link 12 and the door 2 is activated. Door 2 is opened. Mata J! When closing 2, the operation is reversed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned configuration, when closing the handle 4 and locking the key e, it is necessary to completely push the handle 4 into the handle frame 6 with one hand and then use the other hand to push the handle 4 into the handle frame 6 until it reaches the position 1. There was a problem in that it was necessary to turn the 6, that is, it was necessary to use both hands.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a hand locking device for a vending machine that allows the door to be opened and closed with one hand.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the v-locking device of the vending machine of the present invention includes a locking claw protruding into the handle storage frame, a handle, and a handle provided on the handle. A pair of slide guides, a slide plate that passes through the slide guide, a slide pawl that stands on one side of the slide plate, a protrusion that also stands on the opposite side of the slide plate, and a slide plate that also stands on the opposite side of the slide plate. It has a structure in which a spring is stretched between the protrusion provided on the handle and the protrusion provided on the handle.

According to the above-described structure, when the handle is closed and completely narrowed into the handle storage frame, the slide pawl provided on one side of the slide plate engages with the locking pawl protruding into the hand p storage frame. Since the key is stopped and temporarily fixed, the handle is biased by the spring and will not fly out. Therefore, when turning the key, the hand on the same side that operated the handle can be used.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a hand p locking device for a vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4. In this embodiment, parts having the same structure as those of the conventional example are given the same reference numerals and the explanation thereof will be omitted. In the figure, 4b, 4c, and 4d are a pair of slide guides, elongated holes, and protrusions provided on the handle 4, respectively. 6b is a locking claw protruding from the handle storage frame 6. Reference numeral 14 denotes a nullide plate which freely passes through the pair of slide guides 4b, and has slide claws 14a on one side and protrusions 14b on the opposite side, which are inserted into the elongated holes 4c. It is oiled. A spring 16 is stretched between the protrusion 4d and the slide plate 14, and at this time (in the state shown in Fig. 2), the right side of the protrusion 14b is in contact with the end face of the elongated hole 4c. .

The operation of the handle locking device for a vending machine configured as described above will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4. The heavy hand/L/4 in Fig. 2 is in the open state, but as the handle 4 is closed, it rotates around the support shaft 10 and the slide claw 14a first comes into contact with the locking claw 6b. When closed, the sliding claw 14
It overcomes the a-pa spring 16 and rotates together with the handle 4 while sliding a little to the left, finally reaching the state shown in FIG. 3, that is, the state in which the slide pawl 14a and the locking pawl 6b are locked. Therefore, naturally, the handle 4 is also temporarily fixed in the handle storage frame 6. Therefore, after that, the door can be locked simply by turning the key 6. Conversely, when unlocking, after rotating the key 6 toward the unlocking side, move the protrusion 14b slightly to the left with your finger from the outside of the handle 4, and the slide claw 14a will be released from the locking claw 6b. The handle 4 is urged by the spring 11 and pops out.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the locking claw 6b protruding from the hand p storage frame 6, the handle 4, the pair of slide guides 4b provided on the handle, and the slide that freely passes through the slide guides 4b. plate 14 and this slide plate 1
A spring 16 is provided between a slide pawl 14a standing upright on one side of the slide plate 14, a protrusion 14b also upright on the opposite side of the slide plate 14, and a protrusion 4d provided on the slide plate 13 and the hand μ4. Due to the structure in which the handle L'4 is stretched, it is possible to temporarily fix the hand/L'4 to the handle storage frame 6, and the key can be locked with only one hand.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a handle for a handle using a locking pawl protruding from a handle storage frame, a pair of slide guides provided on the hand μ, and a slide pawl erected on one side of the slide plate. It can be temporarily fixed to the storage frame, and the key can be locked with just one hand. Another effect is that when the lock is turned and the lock pin is inserted into the handle, the position of the handle is much more stable compared to when the handle is held down by hand, making it easier to insert the lock pin. In other words, it becomes easier to rotate the key.
